I worked at a HP packaging-store once as temporary worker.

We weren't allowed to put any water bottles anywhere, not even in the separated corner solely used for lunch breaks. We had to store it in our locker, three large floors above. So it would have taken at least five minutes to have some water.

But of course quitting during work for drinking wasn't allowed. You had to wait till break. It was a hot summer, so I quit after three weeks. Amazon sounds like a piece of cake compared to that.
